The club was founded on 21 April 1943, during World War II, as a result of local clubs based in the city coming together to form one large club.

The club's home ground is the Stade de la Beaujoire, which has a capacity of 35,322. The club's nickname is Les Canaris, which means "The Canaries" in French. This is due to the yellow and green striped shirts that the team wears.
